SYAPER commenced this day at 10 minutes vast Three o' Clock. _ Vaeker- troverted elections, about national education and appoint ments to the magistracy, about municipal corporations to establish freedom, and Sabbath Bills to multiply re strictions, about Copyright and the Spanish Legion, about the Corn-laws and the Vixen, &c. &c., which came to nothing, we can but conclude that the long Session has been almost fruitless, of good. There has been an abundance of talk and little eloquence, and a multitude of motions which have ended in no thing. We know no other bodies of men in this or in any other country who labour day after day and night after night through so many months, and whose labours end in such a complete negation of all benefits and ad vantages both to themselves and others. The boys of the Marine Society learn something every day, the congregated urchins of the factory mills do something every hour, which has its value in the market ; but the Members of the two Houses of Parliament seem annually to meet only to wrangle, and grievously to disappoint all those who look to them for redress or improvement. With such an unhappy result of misapplied labour staring the whole community in the face, that most ig norant, misled, and misleading Baronet, Sir R.INGLis, had the simplicity last night to boast of the great number of days the Parliament had been assembled, and the hours it had laboured. For nine months it has been in Session, the Commons met onl7B days, and the Lords on 144, and the Commons have been occupied no less than 1,134 hours. To record their labours, independent of the reports of the debates, has required no less than 2,560 folio pages of print, exclusive of appendices, &c., and what all this labour and all this expense has done for the country, it has been the pur port of our previous remarks to estimate. The Hon. Baronet may mistake activity for usefulness, and re gard his own weariness as a sign of some mighty work accomplished ; but the laborious enumeration he last night submitted to the House, contrasted with the re sults of the Session as recorded in the QUEEN'S Speech, only makes more apparent the little worth of the labour of the thousand Peers and Commoners, who seem to meet for any other purpose rather than to achieve any good for the nation. Whatever might have been the hopes of any persons before the opening of the Session, they were, we be lieve, immediately extinguished by the declarations of the Ministers. A forced inactivity, the neutraliza tion of the evil spirit of Toryism, was all that from that moment could be expected. The real parties into which the country is divided are the Aristocracy and the Democracy, the stationary and the pro gressive, the satisfied and the hungry for improvement. All the Tories, comprising half the House, belong to the former. They are, one and all, the minions of the Aristocracy and the Church, and the opponents of the progressive Democracy. To them it was soon ascer tained there must be added three-fourths of the soi disant Liberals at least, leaving as the representatives of the Democracy and the Chapel in the Commons, including the Catholics, not one-eighth of the whole. In tile Peers they have no Representatives. With such a balance of parties what could be expected ? The questions of Canada, the Ballot, the Corn-laws, and every other in which the democratic and aristocratic parties had different interests, demon strated that the former had nothing to hope from the Parliament. But it is only this party which de mands anything, or has any grievances to complain of. The two parties of the Aristocracy are well satis fied with things as they are ; they combine to support the Church—with what hypocrisy we say not—and to approve of nearly every one of those institutions and customs which were established for their advan tage, and of which the Democracy and the chapel-goers complain. What wonder, then, that this Session, long though it have been, should have closed like so many others, bringing nothing but dis appointment to the Democrats'. It is some con solation, indeed, to know that it has also disappointed the most tyrannical and most hypocritical section of the Aristocracy. The Tories yet . hunger for office. The report of a very important speech, delivered by Mr. O'CoNNELL at a public meeting of the electors of Dublin, on Wednesday last, will be found in our columns of this day. The Hon. and Learned Gen tleman„it will he seen, is preparing a grand scheme of national agitation, the plan of which is to be sub mitted to a meeting of the citizens of Dublin to be held to-morrow at the Corn Exchange. In England the Parliamentary recess promises to be a season of political repose ; in Ireland it threatens to be productive of more than usual party excitement. Mr. O'CONNELL continues to avow his confidence in the 'Ministers, while he proclaims aloud that they have not the power of doing justice to Ireland. The scurrilous abuse heaped by a faction in this country upon the Catholic religion and its ministers, and especially the attempt made by the SPOTTISWOODE conspirators, to fix upon the priesthood a general charge of perjury and intimidation, has provoked, on the part of the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin, an appeal to the religious feelings and prejudices of the Irish people, which we have read with very deep concern. In the new career of agitation upon which Mr. O'CONNELL avows himself to have entered, we trust he proposes not to enlist, as auxiliaries in a political warfare, the religious prejudices of any portion of his countrymen. The weather has undergone an unfavourable change again to-day, and every day has now a great influence on our prospects as to harvest. The intelligence from the south and west of England continues extremely favourable, but the intelligence from the north is not so good. Accounts from the Continent, too, speak of a partial failure of the corn crop there, and describe the weather as having been extremely ungenial. In case of stinted crops here, then, that source of supply will fail us. The price of the four pound loaf is still 101 d., and now, therefore, is the time to enlist the energies of the capitalists suffering from low profits, and of labourers suffering from insufficient wages, in procuring the re peal of the Corn-laws. We cordially echo, therefore, the advice of the Chronicle, merely adding, that it is more incumbent on us to put an end to this starvation, strangling system—this scheme of slow and wholesale murder for the benefit of those Burkers of the national prosperity and national happiness—the idle landowners, than to repress any other acts of robbery and murder which are not, like this, ordained by law : _ _ _ We would humbly suggest (says the Chronicle) that in all places permanent Committees be appointed to guide and direct the operations for the overthrow of the Corn-laws. The energy and intelligence of the country would thus be brought effectually to bear against the monopolists of food ; and victory would infallibly be the reward of well-directed exertions. The Paris Journals of Wednesday, though filled with rumours and suggestions of a political complexion, contain very little authentic news of importance. We do not share in their alarms respecting the final settle ment of the Hollando-Belgic question, firmly believing that Prussia knows her own interest, and understands her own position too well, to kindle the flames of a war that would engage all the great Powers of Europe. The following ext racts from them include all the news contained in them of any general interest : The Archbishop of Cuba, who had obtained passports from the French Government to proceed from Tours to Geneva, had changed his itinerary, and safely reached the South of France, crossed the Spanish frontier without the least difficulty, and joined Don Carlos at Onate. BRUSSELS, Aua. 15.—The average prices of wheat and rye in the week ending. Aug. 11, were—Wheat 23f. 57c., rye 12f. 83c. per hectolitre. Wheat is therefore ex em pt f rom import duty, and that on rye remains Lt 21f. 50e. per 1,000 kilogrammes. The Independent says, "all the Journals speak of a very serious accident on the iron railroad, at the Termonde station, the day before yesterday. — They allege that a steam-engine coming to place itself at the head of the train on its way from Brussels to Ghent, came into such violent collision with the head of the train, that eight carriages were dashed to atoms and thirty persons severely injured. This statement is exag gerated. The collision indeed took place, in consequence of the rapidity with which the engineer Lambremont, caused, the steam-engine to return to the train after it had been to take in a supply of water. Lambremont was not intoxicated, for then he would not have been permitted to get on the en gine, but be was either over zealous or careless. Several passengers were preparing to get into the carriages, others had already taken their seats; the number of those who were struck by the splinters of glass or wood were not thirty, but seven, and only one (a Mr. Vandernoa, of Alost, as we are told) was unable to proceed on his journey. He received a violent blow on the chest, which made bleeding necessary, but he was removed to Alost in the evening. " This accident is the more distressing as extraordinary pre cautions had been taken for the service of Sunday, on which day it was supposed above 15,000 passengers might be ex- . _., ___ .........___ BELGIAN I' UNDS—BaussEts, Aun 14.

The opening of the section of the iron railroad from Ghent to Bruges took place on Sunday, the l2th, with great ceremony. The King and Queen, who were present, were received with the most enthusiastic expressions of loyalty and attachment by the immense crowd of spectators which the occasion had attracted to the spot. The King, in his reply to the Burgomaster of Bruges, said that he " had always felt the greatest interest in their beautiful city, the sincerity of which he thought he showed by the readiness with which he visited them on this occasion. There is every rea son to hope that the good city of Bruges will recover the an cient prosperity of which it was so justly proud." This speech was received with loud acclamations of " Vive le Roi Vive la Reine !" CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 23.—The late High Admiral Tahir Pacha is appointed Muschar of Alden, in the room of Ahmed Fethi Pacha Abdul-hak. Effendi Vazinsker of Anatolia, and President of the Board of Health, is removed from the latter office, and succeded by Namik Pacha. Among the beneficial re gulations lately introduced here may be mentioned as worthy of praise the abolition of various imposts which fettered inland trade, and especially the duty which had to be paid to the He. tissab Naziri on the importation of timber, coals, and fruit. It is probable, too, that the tamiza, or stamp duty, will be shortly totally abolished. These measures have the most favourable effect on the minds of the inhabitants of the capital, and they will now submit the more willingly to the ordinances to be issued for the purpose of preventing the introduction of the plague. The powder magazine at Abhadli was near being blown up on the night of the 21st of this month. Happily the explo sion was confined to two barrels of powder, but eight persons were either killed or wounded. The accounts from the Dar- danelles state that the Turkish fleet, under the command o the Capitan Pacha, had entered the Archipelago on the 19th, The sanitary state of the capital continues to be good.— _ Allgemeins Zeitung, Aug. 12. Admiral Sir R. Stopford, with the squadron under his command, consisting of five line-of-battle ships, one frigate, four brigs, and one steamer, put into the Bay of Tunis, on his way to the lonian Islands and the Archipelago, on the 30th ult., as we learn from Toulon ; whilst under sail, he was sa luted by 15 guns from the Jena, bearing the French Admiral's flag, which were immediately returned. Two hours after the fort of Goeletta fired a salute of 21 guns, which was immediately returned. As Sir R. Stopford did not communicate with the shore, it was presumed he would make no stay, but return to Malta. The anniversary of the days of July was celebrated by the French vessels on the 29th. Salutes were fired ; a grand dinner was given by Admiral Lalande, at which the foreign Consuls resident at Tunis were present ; and in the evening the crew of th e J ena got up a theatrical representation. The Journal du Havre informs us that the Sirius steamer, which sailed from London on the morning of the Ist inst., ar rived at Elsinore at seven in the evening of the 4th, two hours before the Paris, which had sailed from Havre at eleven o'clock in the morning of the same day. The Paris sailed from Co penhagen for ;•.-:t. Petersburgh at six in the evening of the sth. The Sirius had sailed at three in the afternoon of the same day. "If we are well informed," says the Europe, " the secret despatches sent by M. Fabricius to his Government, and which he contrived to procure, are not altogether foreign to the resolution of the King of Holland to oppose the continu ance of negotiations at London which be has adopted, and to fire on vessels under Belgian colours which appear off Flush ing. There has been more spite than has been supposed in the angry complaints against M. Fabricius. We are able to say, the King of the Netherlands has become acquainted with all that he wanted to know, and that he has acted in consequence.' We believe that it is not M. Fabricius who has been the person taken in by this miserable police affair." The Currier Francais states that the blockading squadron on the coast of Mexico is going to be increased to 22 vessels, under the command of Rear-Admiral Baudit. " It is stated," says the Bon Sens, " that the order of St. Anthony, which was created in 1236, but which subse quently merged in that of Malta, has been re-established by a Papal bull, on the demand of an illustrious Princess, who has provided a locality and an endowment of 12.000,000 f. for the new institution, for which, it. is added, the chateau of Randau is destined." The young Archduke, Frederick of Austria came on shore at Toulon on the 10th inst., to breakfast at the Maritime Pre fecture, and take leave of Vice-Admiral Jurien de Lagraviere, who in the evening went on board the Guerriere, to return the visit of the Prince. This frigate will sail the first favourable wind (Frect for Gibraltar, and will then proceed to Cadiz and Tangier. We learn by accounts from Hayti that the President Boyer, in his speech at the opening of the Legislative Session, dwelt on the a ',vantages to be expected from the successful issue of the negotiations with the French Plenipotentiaries; and also took occasion to observe, that whatever might be the p u b lic feeling, and though improvements might be introduced into the public institutions, it was necessary to guard against the spirit of innovation. Some irregularities which have is crept into practice in several departments of the state are, itsaid, to be corrected, and, amongst others, the manner of filling up vacancies in the Senate. A dispute had arisen between the Chamber of Representatives and the Senate on the subject of the attempt to assassinate General Inginac, mentioned by us not long ago. The Bon Sena contains the following warlike paragraph, which, however, we deem entitled to very little credit ; since 1815 there hes never been less appearance of a continental war An extraordinary Cabinet Council, over which the King presided, assembled on Monday evening to deliberate on the affairs of Belgium, which have assumed a new aspect, at Berlin, where they are apparently as far from a termination as in 1831. All the young men in P russ i a are sa id to be inspired with warlike ardour, and it was added that the landwehr are to be called out en masse, that a position is to be taken up in the Rhenish provinces, and that M. Bresson has transmitted to the French Cabinet a note announcing the grievances of Prussia on the occasion of the disturbances by w hich the Catholic population have been agitated. Must we suppose that Ministers have been placed in this embarrassing situation by the infidelities or manoeuvres of M. Chaltas with foreign diplomatists? The question eppeared sufficiently serious to require the presence of Marshal Gerard before the Council, and he has been sent to Baden ; and a camp of 30,000 men is to be formed on the Rhine, the war administration having received and transmitted by telegraph the necessary orders on the subject." SWITZERLAND.--Extract from a letter, dated Lucerne, Aug. 12.—" The following fact will show how delighted the absolutist Courts feel at the silly quarrel which France has sought with Switzerland. M. de - Bombelles, the Austrian Envoy in Berne, received some time ago from his Court, instruc tions to support the petitions sent in to the Diet by certain convents to complain of measures adopted by the cantonal Governments of Argovia and Thurgau, and, in particular, of a decree which deprived them of the administration of their property. In conformity with his instructions, M. de Bombelles had drawn up a note, which he intended pre senting, to the Directory, when he thought better of it, and kept it back. He then wrote to his Government that he did not consider the present moment favourable for Aus tria to interfere in Swiss affairs; he represented that the conduct of France would necessarily have for its result to compel the Helvetic Confederation to seek allies on the side of Germany, mid that it would be the height of impolicy not from one . another do i 3 0 m two e Bombelles nations accordingly directed advised i yr s e e revolutionary o l h u i t s i o Cabinetn a r yto prin ciples. m desist for the moment from all appearance of hostility against the federal authorities, and as the presentation of the note at such a juncture might be attended with unpleasant conse quences, he had thought proper to withhold it until he re ceived fresh instructions from Vienna. " You may fully rely on the accuracy of the above statement, which I have obtained from an unquestionable authority. " The Diet is to debate to-morrow whether the C on f e d e ration shall send a deputation to the coronation of the Emperor of Austria, and, in case of an affirmative decision, within what limits that deputation is to circumscribe its mission." The Ministerial publication, Revue des Deux Monde; says that should Louis Buonaparte voluntarily consent to withdraw from Switzerland, such a step would not satisfy the French Government, which has not addressed itself to him but to Switzerland. If he retired voluntarily be might re t urn volun tarily, and reside again in the canton of Thurgau. There must at least be afforded to France a declaration of the reFe deral Directory in the way of gua rant ee. It moreover ap pears certain, adds the Revue, that Louis Buonap arte w i ll not acknowledge himself a Swiss citizen —an ackno w l e d gment which Should h would , deprive d against d e pri v e everyhim o f expectation, his right remain a ms a Fren c h ma n. in Switzer land, the French Government would render the Federal Directory responsible for his future machinations. Much rigour is commanded by the conduct of Louis B uonaparte and that of the individuals who surround him, and w h o were but a short time past again recruiting for him at Bader and Manheim. They had even wait ed on Prince Jerome Buona parte's youthful son, and reproached him with not being at his post, which, said they, was by his Emperor, or at Arenenberg. In tho interest itself of Louis Buonaparte some eminent per sons had exhorted him, in the name of the French Govern ment, to quit Arenenberg after his mother's death ; but he had answered that his income, which is only forty th ousan d francs a year, did not permit him to live in England—the only country in which he would be suffered to sojurn. Those persons then engaged to obtain for him a permission f rom t h e i Austrian Government to reside n Italy with his father, w h o , openly disapproves of all his measures, and threatens even to disinherit him if he persists in his mad design of agitating France. But the young Prince made a formal refusal, al- THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 17, 1838. leging his duty towards such of his subjects as have devoted themselves to his cause. Advices from Madrid, to the evening of." the Bth instant, have just reached us, announcing the termina tion of the Ministerial crisis. We must observe, however, that the truth of such a statement rests wholly upon the degree of credit to which the follow ing paragraphs from the Correio Nacional of that date may be judged entitled : " An extraordinary Council of Ministers was held yesterday evening at half-past two o'clock, and remained in deliberation to six. It appears that the Duke de Frias, Martinez de la Rosa, Isturiz, and Moscoso de Altamira were invited and were present at this council. It appears that the result of the de liberation was to fix the question on that base which the inte rest of the country in its present circumstances demands. " At night all the Ministers went up to see the Queen, and in her Royal presence frankly and loyally explained the state of affairs, and delivered to her Majesty those opinions which a feeling of duty dictated. " If our information do not deceive us, the situation of the Government is consolidated, and her Majesty, whose justice, whose solicitude extends to all her servants, continues to play her confidence (which she never withdrew) in her legal ad visers, and that a reconciliation with the illustrious chief at the head of the army has also been effected." The Gazette, of the 7th, contains a despatch from Colonel CRESPO, announcing the defeat of the Carlist Chieftain FELIPE, near the town of Oropesa, on the borders of Estremadura and Castile. The Carlists lost 125 men killed, 25 made prisoners, 80 horses, and all their arms, ammunition, and baggage. From the north of Spain no intelligence of the least importance had reached the Spanish capital. Zr i f ) R, )-1",t:1-1,<). WITH WHICH THE " TRUE SUN " IS NOW INCORPORATED. LONDON : FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 17, 1838. Our Paper of yesterday informed our readers of the termination of the Session of Parliament, and con tained her MAJESTY'S most gracious speech. That document says too little to require much comment. We knew all about Canada before, and we participate in her MAJESTY'S hope, that a Constitutional form of Government may speedily be restored there. Our hope is, we must admit, much lessened by the events in Parliament of the last week, which have demonstrated that authority is weak and divided, the Legislative and the Executive powers being in conflict, and that momentary convenience—uncertain which way to look and move —not reason or principle—is the basis of our legislation. We cannot look forward, therefore, with confidence to Constitutional Government being ever re-established in Canada by such an authority. To destroy, it was powerful—to destroy, it was united —and we regret that it pulled down what it has now shown both indisposition and inability to restore. We rejoice with her MAJESTY that progress has been made towards the entire Abolition of Negro Apprenticeship ; but while we tender, as we have before tendered, the mced of our humble praise to the Ministers, particularly to the Under Secretary of the Colonies, for their exertions to induce the Colonial Legislatures to concede what is due to humanity, we cannot forget that the Parliament, as a body, deserves no credit for the improvement. It negatived every proposition for accelerating the good end, and set at nought the demands and wishes of our humane and enlightened people. We approve of the Abolition of Imprisonment for Debt ; it is, however, but a poor achievement to boast of after so many years' labour on the subject. Besides, it is in no otherwise a remedy for any social evils than as it puts an end to some bad laws which the Judges or previous Parliaments had inflicted on us. We have always supported the Poor-law for Ireland, but we can neither conceal nor deny that many well-informed persons doubt its utility, which according to them is far less certain than its patronage and expense. The Tithe Composition Act, after a party struggle for four years is a mere gift to the rapacious landlords of Ireland, and a tax on the people of the empire ; without a particle of that quickening spirit of improvement which was sup posed to lie in diverting some of the revenues of that monstrous nuisance—the Irish Church—not into the pockets of the Corn-law making landlords, but to the purposes of general education. The Meeting at Dub lin, which our Paper describes to-day, convinces us that this measure will merely have taxed the people of England, without either settling the Tithe question or giving safety to the Church of Ireland. It serves no good national purpose, and it will disappoint the po litical traders of both parties who united to promote it. Her MAJESTY'S Civil List, and her beloved Mother's increase of income, with the Supplies voted by the House of Commons—not forgetting the pension to Mr. HoLMES, and his like —may be rational topics of congratulation to the Ministers and her MAJESTY, but there is, in them all, nothing on which we can bid the people rejoice. We remember no Vote of Supply passed by the House of Commons w hi c h has the smallest tendency to diminish the toils of the labourer, to give bread to the hungry, to elevate the condition of our species, or to improve and adorn society. We see something given to museums and national galleries, which supply a musement to the rich, and from which, by the necessities of their condition, the masses are excluded ; but there is no vote for any of those numerous scattered institutions, which the tliftWS bumbler' classes have established and raised for their i at v ement. t • at the.

Great Western Railway 7S London and Brighton Railway London and Blackwall Railway London and Greenwich Railway London and Southampton Railway London end Southampton (New) 37 North Midland Railway Viscount and Lady Howick, Lady Charles Somer set, Colonel Walcot, and other fashionables left London yesterday by the Antwerp Company's steam-ship Princess Victoria. The same Company's packet Antwerp arrived yesterday morning, after a passage of twenty hours. Lord George Seymour was on board. BRISTOL AND EXETER RAILWAY.—The Half- Yearly General Meeting of the Company was held at the Merchants' Hall, Bristol, on Tuesday, when a more than usually large and respectable company assembled. Yesterday evening an alarming fire broke out in the workshops and residence of Mr. Woodward, builder, New port-street, Lambeth-walk, which for some time threatened destruction to the houses in the immediate neighbourhood. The parish engine was soon on the spot, and was followed in quick succession by the Waterloo-road, the West of Eng land, the Southwark Bridge-road, the Farringdon-street, and the 'Chandos-street engines. Unfortunately there was only a sufficiency of water for two engines for a considerable time, from which circumstance the whole of the materials were destroyed. The fire appeared to be entirely the result of ac cident. We regret to state that the amount of damage done i s about 5 001 ., and that Mr. Woodward is uninsured. Yesterday morning a fire broke out in the engine room of the extensive cement and plaster of Paris works .be longing to Messrs. Weston, Mill - wall , P o p lar. The engine belonging to the par i s h was soon brought into operation by a par ty of police constables, but tended very little to check the -progress of the fire. The London establishment engines soon arrived, and all of them were well supplied with water from ditches situated near the premises, but the fire was not got under for some time. We are sorry to state that the loss is very extensive, as the greater portion of the storehouses and their contents arc entirely destroyed. The fire was visi ble for many miles round the metropolis. Not the least cl ue can be obtained as to its origin. The building and stock are believed to be insured. A re spectably-dressed man succeeded yesterday in gaining possession of a basket of linen from a lad, the son of a police constable in East-lane, Hoxton, by sending him to deliver a sham note at a gentleman's house in the neighbour hood. The thief had taken his victim into a public-house in the lane, and persuaded him to leave the basket in charge of the landlady, and on the lady's disappearance had got posses sion of the basket without suspicion, under an impression that he was the lad's father. Yesterday afternoon, between four and five o'clock, as a gentleman named Meadows was passing through Deptford Broadway on a valuable horse, the animal "shied," and one of its hind legs got under the f ore - w h ee l o f a waggon heavily laden, belonging to Mr. Mumfo r d, m ill er o f L ew i sham, and wa s broken. A veterinary surgeon was i nstant l y sent for, and the horse (which was worth SO gu i neas ) kil led on the spot. Mr. Meadows narrowly escaped with his life. A LAW CASE.—A commercial traveller, named Taylor, yesterday summoned a gin -shop keeper residing in the Strand to the Court of Requests, Westminster, for the sum of 100. Mr. Taylor, it appeared, h a d gone into defendant's shop and called for a pennyworth of gin and a halfpennyworth of milk, which he drank. tendering, as he swore, Is. in pay asking for his chan ge he wa , tc,1,1 that lie hart not p a id at ail. The barman offered to s we a r t h at co mplainant had not paid ; but the Commissioners adjuged the gin-shop keeper to pay the 100., with about ss. costs LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.)

THE SUN NEWSPAPER.—The spirited enterprise of Mr. Young, the proprietor of The Sun is constantly kept in action for the public gratification. His swift expresses, by which the latest information is extended in the briefest pos sible time throughout the United Kingdom, are now so well known as to be proverbial. He it was who led the van in this respect, and he has been since followed by his brethern of the press until "Expressing" became a mere every-day occurrence with them. Then we had a r arity in the shape of a gold printed copy of The Sun, with a splendid portrait of the Queen, and giving an account of the Coronation. Now we are furnished with a double Sun, containing very excellent po:traits of those two distin guished warriors, Wellington and Soult, with memoirs of each. Such exertions as Mr. Young has manifested merit a liberal reward at the hands of the public.— Windsor Express. THE SPIRIT OF ENTERPRISE.—We cannot omit to notice the very elegant manner in which some numbers of The S.cn nevespaper have lately been embellished with beautiful medalion profiles of her Majesty, the Duke of Wellington , an I Marshal Soult. The Golden Sun, as it is called, has had an unprecedented sale ; and the Exraordinary St e t should be purchased as a companion to its predecessor.- -- Sherborne Journal. THE SUN.—We have received The San newspaper of August 5, containing the admirable portraits of Soult and Wellington, with impartial memoirs of each hero. With the politics of Mr. Murdo Young we wage an unceasing warfare ; but we are pleased nevertheless to acknowledge that this gentleman fights the battle of his party in a much more manly and honourable manner than most of our or ponents. His labours are unceasing, his reports a lways full, and his paper conducted with a spirit and e nergY worthy of a better cause.—Lincoln Standard. The Propietors of this Journal have for a series of years laid the public under heavy obligations by their successful exertions in publishing the latest intelligence up to the very hour of post ; and they have added more than one "stone to the cairn," by issuing a paper printed in g od• on the Coronation of our beloved Queen, and likenesses Of these Noble Warriors—Soult and Wellington.—A9r Observer. We have received a copy of Tile Sun newspaper, cor taining strikingly characteristic, and exquisitely finished medallion portraits of the Duke of Wellington and Mar shal Soult. They are splendid specimens of art, and admirable in all respects. It is a matter of w onder to us how any sale of the paper on the low terms de manded, can reimburse the proprietor after the immense cost which he must have incurred.—Bath Chronicle. The medallion portrait of her Majesty, which lately ar peared in The Sun, is acknowledged to be a very excellent likeness, but not more excellent than the portraits of the Duke of Wellington and Marshal Soult, which were pub lished in a double number of that paper of the sth instant- They are very beautifully executed, and are accompanie d with characteristic memoirs and original anecdotes.—Ber . row's Worcester Journal. Our enterprising London contemporary, Mr. Young, ha g achieved another triumph in newspaper illustrations. Th e double Sun, received yesterday, is ornamented with meda l ' lion heads of Marshal Soult and the Duke of Wellingto n, of surpassing beauty. Those who have seen the exquisitely executed portrait engraving of the Queen in the Golden Sun, will form some idea of the spirit, correctness, and finish of these beautiful specimens of art. Mr. Young ha g . contributed some gems of poetry to enhance the value 0 ' this number of his excellent journal.—Tipperary Free Press. We have received a copy of The Sun dared on Sunda , ' last, and containing splendid medallion portraits of the Duke of Wellington and Marshal Soult, accompanied wi th a biographical memoir of these distinguished Generals' 'The execution of these portraits is magnificent b e yond de" scription, and far exc ee d s any t hi ng th a t h as ever bef°r,s, been attempted by th e N ewspa p er p ress , /if we exce pt Ti Catenation Sun, printed i n go ld an d con t a i n i ng a m edallio n likeness of her Majesty executed in the very highest style of modern art.—Belfast New's Letter. The spirited proprietor of The Sun has treated his s ubser i l hers with portraits of Soult and Wellington, in addition to one of our gracious Queen. They are the most beautiful sr cimens of engraving of the kind we have seen, and for ex, _ cellency, both in design and execution, surpass all that we could have conceived possible in a daily journaL—De rb il Reporter. HOP MARKET. There is a little business doing in this article, at prices rather below the recent nominal quotations. The accounts from the Hop grounds are favourable for the plant, and the duty is 175,0001. to 180,0001., which is rather better. PROVISION MARKET. There is very little doing in any commodity in this depart. ment just now, prices however are nut lower. SPIRIT MARKET. There is nothing fresh whatever in this market, and prices of all kinds remain as quoted yesterday. TALLOW MARKET. P. Y. C. to-day 475. 9d. on the spot, and 465. 9d. to arrive, and not much doing. WOOL MARKET. The public sales of Colonial Wool continue to go off with the same spirit as that with which they commenced. Fully former prices are obtained. COLONIAL MARKETS. These markets are now sleeping, and may be said to have secured but a very moderate business since this day week. To-day, British Plantation Sugar sold slowly at former prices. Nothing fresh in Refined Goods. To-day at public sale 4,000 bags of 'Mauritius Sugar, sold at about previous rater. Coffee, 66 casks and 423 bags British Plantation, went steadily at former prices. Brazil, 1884 bags, put up but all did not sell. The little that sold sent at lower prices where they are altered. Cocoa, 170 bags Trinidad, fetched our last quotations. Spices gene rally arc firm ; to-day we -had one cr two small sales. Rice is not quite so firm as it was, but is not lower. Tea sells to a very limited extent at small profits on sale prices. On the whole the quotations of goods in this markrt during this week have been very uniform with those of last. The imports to-day are light. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Au°. 16. Large holders of Cotton remain firm, and do not appear anxious to press their stocks on the Market at present. 200 bags were the quantity sold to-day, and our last quotations were realized. 150 Surat 4d. to 5Ad. ; 80 Pernam Bd. ; 39 Egyptian 10hd. ; 30 Bahia 81d. ; 1,710 American to Bd. DETERMINED SUICIDE IN HENRY THE CHAPEL.-AbOut half-past nine o'clock this morning, a very painful sensation was created in the precincts of Saint Bartho lomew's Hospital, by the discovery of a suicide being perpe trated in the chapel of Henry the Bth, by the sexton, who also held the senior beadleship of the Hospital just stated The facts are as follow :—This morning, an admission to the cha pel, which adjoins Saint Bartholomew's Hospital, was wanted, a person sent to the house of Mr. Thomas Thurrel, the untor tunate man, for the keys, but the answer was that Mr. Thur rel was missing, and had been some days ; in consequence the door of the Chapel was burst open, when from the state of some of the contents, suspicions were entertained that there was something wrong. An examination was made, and on going into the belfry, the deceased Mr. Thurrel was disco vered, suspended from one of the beams, quite dead, and from appearances had been two days. The alarm was given, when the body was cut down and taken to the dead house of the hospital, till the result of a coroner's inquisition, which will be held to-morrow. The deceased was a married man, and was very much respected. He had held the office as beadle to the hospital, for a great number of years. An inquest was yesterday taken at the Portland Arms, Portland Town, on the body of John Trante, aged 47. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased, who - was butler in a gentleman's family, about a fortnight ago was on a ladder cleaning the windows of the house, No. 72, High-street, Portland Town, when, one of the rounds he was standing on giving way, he was precipitated to the ground and severely bruised. He was taken in doors and attended by Mr. Gray, a medical gentleman of the neighbourhood, who found that he had broken some ribs, and that his right wrist was dislocated. The dislocation was reduced, but the deceased became gra dually weaker, and died on Monday last. He has left. a wife and family. Verdict--" Accidental death." SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—As Mrs. Monks, the wife of a journeyman bricklayer, was passing down Bentinck street this morning, about seven o'clock, she was run against by a brewer's dray, which knocked her down and the wheel passed over her arm, literally crushing it to atoms. The poor woman being advanced in years, has no chance of re covery. FALSE REPRESENTATION.—A waiter at a chop house in Holborn was married a few days ago to the daughter of respectable retired tradesman residing at Islington—a man of considerable wealth—in consequence of its having been falsely represented to the parents of the bride that he " had an excellent situation in the Victualling-office." EXTRAORDINARY CANINE SAGACITY.—The following fact, which we lately witnessed while passing in one of the steam-boats down the Clyde, so far exceeds any ordi nary instance of sagacity in the dog, that one is almost tempted to pronounce it a real case of ratiocination. As the steamer approached, a little dog, seemingly a terrier, was seen to issue from a bothy used by the salmon fishermen, and waded into the water till nothing was observed but the ani mal's nose. It immediately returned, however, with the end of the rope to which the net-floats are fixed, which it carried a considerable distance upon the ground, where it carefully left it high and dry. Now, as every one may know, just before the advance of a steam-boat in a narrow river, the water, owing to the action of the paddles, suddenly subsides, and as suddenly again rushes iu vi'Aent waves above water mark. Had no: the dug known this, and taken the proper precau tion, the rope and floats would to a certainty have been carried off. This curious incident elicited the strongest admiration from all the passengers.-. Correspondent of the Sctosman. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.
